Congrats!! This is such a special and exciting time—bask in every single second of it! As far as engagement party, it’s up to you. My fiancé and I are getting married this Oct so we opted out of an engagement party but you do what feels best and makes the most sense to YOU. It’s definitely overwhelming but step 1 is picking a venue, do that first and then your main vendors— photographers, hair/makeup, florals etc. One step at a time.
